CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

2 Chronicles 12

Once Rehoboam’s kingdom is established and strong, he forsakes the law of the LORD, and Israel follows him. Shishak king of Egypt invades Judah with a massive force and captures fortified cities. Shemaiah announces that the invasion reflects Judah’s abandonment of God. The leaders humble themselves, and God grants partial deliverance rather than total destruction, though Jerusalem is plundered and Judah becomes subject to Egypt. Rehoboam’s reign then closes with a mixed evaluation.
